In a stunning turn of events, singer Max Fox made history on Britain’s Got Talent when he yelled at Simon Cowell from the audience, pleading for a chance he had been vying for for almost twenty years. Max was asked to try out—mid-show—instead of getting kicked out.

In just one week, the audacious maneuver received almost 4.7 million views. Max, 35, astonished the judges by closing the evening with the fearless classic “My Way,” and he did it flawlessly. Simon was beaming from ear to ear as his voice mesmerized the audience and plunged KSI into meme-worthy shock.

Amanda Holden completed the transaction, bringing Max directly to the live performances as shouts of “Golden buzzer!” erupted across the theater. Suddenly, a man from the stands was the season’s biggest star and possibly BGT’s future.

Do you want more Max? His meteoric climb is just getting started.
